02 Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River avg. 9.50

 

Highest: 11 (Bjork)

Lowest: 7 (NickF1)

 

 

At #2 we have "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake, taken from his debut solo album, Justified. It was inspired by Timberlake's former relationship with singer Britney Spears, which it was portrayed in a music video by a blonde model almost looking identical to Ms. Spears. It was a nice publicity stunt!!! Despite having just one 11, it managed to score seven 10's. NickF1 revenge score of 7 it paid off denying him a #1 :kink: (joking of course).

01 Eminem - Lose Yourself avg. 9.65

 

Highest: 11 (Nina West, gavindeejay, dandy*, Iceman501)

Lowest: 7.5 (Riser)

 

 

And here is your #1. "Lose Yourself" is a song by Eminem taken from the soundtrack to the 2002 motion picture 8 Mile. It was released on October 28, 2002 as the lead single from the soundtrack. The song's lyrics explicitly sum up the background of Eminem's character in 8 Mile, B-Rabbit, with the first verse summing up much of the plot of the movie. The song incorporates several aggressive themes, largely dealing with the struggles dealt with by B-Rabbit, and how he eventually overcomes his many problems and obstacles to gain the respect of other rappers. "Lose Yourself" was a commercial success, becoming Eminem's first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single and remaining there for twelve consecutive weeks. It reached atop of the charts in nineteen other countries. "Lose Yourself" received acclaim from music critics, with many critics praising the song's inspiring, aggressive themes and describing it as Eminem's best work to date. "Lose Yourself" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, making it the first hip hop song to receive the award, and also won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance.

Stay tuned for more of this coming soon :cheer:

wasn't expecting that!!

Oh and something little extra. Here are the average scores for each artists (tallied by their average scores for each of their songs):

 

 

01. Justin Timberlake 8.03

02. Eminem 7.78

03. Usher 7.39

04. Enrique Iglesias 7.36

05. Robbie Williams 7.17

 

Fairly close results there :o G'won Eminem with two of the top three!

Lose Yourself is a worthy winner! I'm not surprised Cry Me A River finished top 2 either. :wub:

Glad that Feel was voted Robbie's best song. I'm always surprised that it 'only' managed #4 in the UK as I'm sure it was really popular at the time, it certainly did its job in selling the album though.

 

Great winner! My 11s hardly ever win anything on Buzzjack so I'll happily take that result, Cry Me a River is very deserving of the runner up spot too :wub:

Agree on Feel, it's actually the last Robbie song that I really really liked, don't think he ever released anything so good afterwards

 

I think Feel was released after the album + very close to Xmas, if released before the album it would have been #1 for sure I reckon.

Feel is actually the best selling single WW in his discography...it was huge everywhere and rightfully so!!!
